About

may show.. (or not)..  too early to say what a show is until it is, and even then…who knows?

What it was to begin with then was a desire (something like a desire) to engage with those we admired for their willingness to engage with us, and the extraordinary space at x-church, in an open-ended way; to be willing to both connect and be open to what might happen. Working as a group, sharing thoughts and ideas to develop something that might potentially show how we worked. What appears to be growing from this may have something to do with landscape - personal, cultural and geographic - an entangling of these, and maybe some new nodes of connectivity.

The group showing of live art, sound, audio-visual and interactive work, sculpture, text, painting and drawing along with a programme of community participatory events will be happening at  x-church, Ashcroft Road, Gainsborough, from 6th - 22nd May.
